what do you mean? people can be mining since the start so i see no issue with it, they can mine now. Although yes would be good to get the algo swapped over asap.
As far as i understood swapping the algo it will be like to create a new coin w a huge premine...
I think that we shoud fairly increase the total coins to reduce the percent of already mined coins w the old algo and to add PoS...
Then once the technical matters r solved we need a good marketing campaign to relaunch the coin...
I'm not an expert in marketing but the coin has good qualities, fair characteristics and an excellent name...
We could start from social networks and then to try to involve in the project people and companies who are related to bees and to the market of bee's products...
My brother in law has a company of propolis related products made in Italy... i think he could put a banner in his website and to talk abt the BeeCoin project to his customers... but we need to be credible with a solid base project, long term ambitions and a strong active community...
Every coin has early adopters and late comers, even bitcoin.
Beecoin has come a rough way and most of the miners are gone and even the original dev are gone because of its fairness. There are no sharks behind to pump and dump this coin. Now the bee community takes over trying to rescue it, and many of the true believers are still holding on to solo mining just to keep the block chain running, just to keep this coin alive. It's a huge insult saying this is a premine. We must thank those still holding on mining beecoin so that we still have the chance to make a change or even make a difference.
Anyone don't like beecoin can just leave ,it's a free world, it's open source world, any one can fork some altcoin and try to make their own.
But if you belive in the bee community and willing to join, you are welcome.
Beecoin can fall, beecoin can rise. What will happen? We never know. Some say the best way to predict the future is to create it.
Let's make this happen!
